Did Peter's Vision of the Sheet Mean People & Food?

I've been here one day and have read through many of the posts and it's very obvious that they don't even know let alone understand the outcome themselves. What I have witnessed in my very short time, short posts, and most importantly, the responses to my post is that there is a spirit here, but It sure doesn't look like the Spirit of God.

There is a lot of arrogance, unloving remarks to each other, and a lot of strife. The administrator does not even follow her own forum rules going way off topic many times but is very quick to point out how something was not done right if she disagrees with anything you say.

So I say this on purpose so that I will be banned, though it is the Truth, because you can delete my account. I won't be back. I'm shrugging my shoulders and walking away. I think if Jesus himself were to input anything here, he would not really be welcome though they claim to be of his. I don't think they would recognize him because they do not know him.

You quote verses about what comes out of your mouth defiling a man and speculate what they are about but just open your eyes and read your responses and how they are framed and colored and how people are treated and you will have a perfectly clear understanding of what those verses mean though I think you have a veil over your eyes.

I came excited with Joy, gentleness, and peace and boy did I find it almost immediately drained just reading the words here. There is hypocrisy and an air of authoritarianism on the part of the administrator.

The sentiment that I read on these boards makes what Paul said come alive for me:

2 Timothy 2:23 "Abstain from the disputes of fools who are without instruction, for you know that they generate conflict."

I leave you with one last quote and I pray that God will fill these forums and these people with the Spirit so that they may bear the following fruits:

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

THis last verse you just quoted corecrash. Somehow it loses something when you don't apply it to yourself in this post, including the unloving remarks. I gather you cannot respond to my last post on this topic, which is why you are up in arms and angry about me, the forum, any interaction or refutation that you perceive to be not to your liking and therefore must have had a very wrong attitude and been not of Christ to have been posted. Do you know my heart, because I don't know yours. Only God knows hearts, and what was and is behind each post.

Your posts have for the most part not been answered as yet, but rather, you were being encouraged to slow down posting so people could in fact catch up. I in fact have been tied up with company and continue to be, so to suggest you are not being addressed properly is not accurate. I was trying to encourage you to browse the forum and read related threads to the topics you were interested in, as well as pointing you to the Introduction section so other members would and could meet you.. If you find that offensive I am sorry. You can accuse me and other members of being not of Christ, as you have, but that doesn't mean it's true.
